Most of us can relate to feeling as though we are not a part of or not valued. Unfortunately we are living in a time where society is becoming more polarized, more exclusionary. It's time to solve that problem and change the discussion to focus on how we can value one another and how we can work together to build something stronger, something better. Inclusion Junkie provides a space to learn, to explore, and to start to include. Presented by Behavior Leader featuring Dr. Natalie Parks, Mason Washington, and Paul Peebles. Inclusion is our way of life. Hopefully it will also soon be yours.
There is nothing more powerful than learning someone's life experiences. In this episode, one of our colleagues shares his very personal story about what it is like to grow up and live in America.
